Buying a car used typically means buying it at a cheaper rate than the new model of that car. But you want to know that you’re getting into a car that isn’t going to cost you even more down the road. This can mean looking into car maintenance and repair costs, but also how fuel-efficient your car is going to be.
Fuel is one of the most expensive parts of car ownership, especially in Nigeria where a litre of fuel is sold at N630/ per litre, and it seems like more time than not we are always buying fuel for our cars. But, what about buying a car that helps you reduce your fuel expenses and save up?
The trick is to purchase a car with good fuel economy, and the good news is that not only new cars can give you that in 2023, but these 2015 vehicles also provide you with great fuel economy.
